Why I recommend this Asus laptop for creatives over my MacBook Pro M4 (and it's not just price)


The new Asus ProArt P16 improves on its predecessor, making it one of the most capable Windows laptops for creative workloads.

Cesar Cadenas/ZDNETBelow is a benchmark test results table comparing the 2025 ProArt P16 to its predecessor, as well as the M4 MacBook Pro and the MSI Stealth 16 AI, another laptop with a similar purpose. It works best as an supplemental tool for quick access to change brush sizes or cycling through video clips, but it isn't designed to replace the touchpad or mouse altogether. That said, the 2024 version is definitely still competitive, so if you're looking for a powerful graphics-minded laptop and want to save some money, I'd highly recommend it, especially if it sees some additional price drops.
